Cookies
Disqus uses “authentication” cookies, e.g., `sessionid`, `disqusauth`, and `disqusauths`, to keep you logged in from your web browser and personalize your Disqus experience.
Disqus uses “unique” cookies, e.g., `disqus_unique` and `_jid`, to associate web-based activities with a page load and with a web browser, including activites that violate our Terms of Service, and understand your interests and product usage.
When Disqus loads ads, we use ad serving technologies from Google, Polymorph, and ServerBid that may set cookies for the purposes of personalized marketing, associating ads with later activities, and limiting how often you are shown specific ads.”
